Aqib Talib Traded From Rams to Dolphins for future pick
The Los Angeles Rams have traded veteran cornerback Aqib Talib and a fifth-round pick to the Miami Dolphins for a future pick. That’s according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter.
Talib had been rumored to be on the trade block as the Rams prepare to offer recently-acquired cornerback Jalen Ramsey a huge long-term deal. Now that has come to fruition.
Trade: Rams are trading CB Aqib Talib AND a fifth-round pick to Miami for a future pick, per source.

It makes sense for Los Angeles. But one has to wonder how this trade benefits Miami long term. Aqib Talib is on IR, is playing out the final year of his current deal, and the Dolphins are tanking this season. Do they really believe he’s worth keeping around past the 2019 season?
If not, then all this trade represents is Miami buying a fifth-round pick from the Rams.
